I'd say pullet, but can you also get a better pic of the feet and tail?

At 10 weeks old that is definitely a cockerel.

What makes you say that? The size if the comb/wattles? Look at the other gray chicken next to it. It has similar comb/wattles. That's why I said pullet.

The bird in question has a bright red comb and wattles. No pullet at 10 weeks of age will have that much color.

Okay. I guess you're right. I forgot about the color. Can you tell I'm kinda a newbie still?

Rose combs can be tough. I've had Wyandottes in the past, and some did keep me guessing for a while.

I stated incorrectly. They are 7.5 weeks old. Thanks for your help!
